“Southern Holidays: A Savor the South Cookbook”

Booklist says, "She digs into the holidays with zest, including not only the standards for Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving, but also those for Epiphany (which she calls Old Christmas), peach festivals, and the Shalom Y'all Jewish Food Festival in Savannah... Maybe someone will follow her lead and declare March Madness a national holiday."

Publishers Weekly says, “Moose is serious about eggs. She knows how to keep the yolks centered (store eggs on their sides) and how to prevent Green Yolk Phenomenon (don’t turn up the heat). But the author also wants to show readers there’s ‘life beyond paprika.’

In this cute tome, she draws on family recipes (such as Cousin Judy’s Deviled Eggs, which call for Worcestershire Sauce and Old Bay seasoning), seasonal influences (like Springtime Herb Delights) and regional fare (e.g., Bella Tuscany, which includes rosemary, capers and sun-dried tomatoes). The recipes are short and easy to follow, and most call for basic ingredients that many cooks will already have in their cupboards.”

“Fan Fare: A Playbook of Great Recipes for Tailgating or Watching the Game at Home”

Publishers Weekly says, “Moose, author of Deviled Eggs, tells it like it is when she says, ‘all fervent sports fans know, the day truly is won or lost in the tailgate.’ Bringing together more than 100 game–day recipes, Moose gives her readers a serious advantage over any challengers.

Dishes run the gamut from simple fried onion blossoms (Jo Ann’s Campfire style) to sophisticated Marinated Gamecocks with Polenta to regional staples like Sweet Potato Ham Biscuits and Mint Juleps. It wouldn’t be game day without chicken wings, and Moose offers teriyaki, tandoori and spice–rubbed variations as well as ones that can be prepared in a slow cooker.

Many recipes can be made in advance, such as Munchable Marinated Shrimp, four kinds of chili and a spicy coleslaw that gets a kick from jalapenos and cayenne. And with desserts like Bourbon–Pecan Pie (not to mention three types of Bloody Marys) to pick up a despondent fan, this cookbook will make for a successful season no matter what the home team does on the field.”
